Coma

When I was sitting in a classroom staring at the walls and thinking how lovely it would be to eat some salt liquorice ice-cream I realized that I was about to fail the first test in my life. It made me feel great. I stared at the paper not comprehending a word of it and suddenly broke into laughter. I felt so good. I was about to fail a test. That moment I decided to do something so not Anniina -like. I gave up and left all of the open-ended questions blank and just randomly selected the multiple-choice ones. I can't describe how good it felt not to be perfect and fail for once. Now I'm just happy it was a test that didn't matter at all cause otherwise I would be crying right now. The stupid PSSA tests, that they made me take at the last minute.

Today was once again one of those weird days that I just feel... weird. They're just so normal. And I feel so normal that it's weird. It's like I'm floating through my days and letting things happen without doing anything. It's almost like I'm just present, like watching a movie where somebody else is playing my part and doing a lousy job. And then the next second my mood changes and I'm completely fine. Right now I just feel great. BECAUSE I FAILED A TEST. Hähä.

We had the musical cast party last weekend. Music, food, karaoke and dancing. Awesomeness.

We all look so beautiful, I know.

Casey singing I Will Always Love You and the girls dancing. This was the funniest thing ever.

I was trying to make the Shelby-face and I failed. :( I just look drunk, which I'm not.

I can't believe it might have been the last time I saw all of those people together. I sure hope not.

On Saturday we went to see Uniontown's high school musical. To those of you who don't know; Uniontown is divided in different high school district's. I'm at Laurel Highlands high school, Uniontown school is a different one. Being in the school made me really happy I am in LH. The musical wasn't bad at all (ours was still better in my opinion) and the lead girl was amazing, but I would be way too scared to go to that school. It's in the part of the town where I would not want to walk alone in. At night after the musical, we were so scared that we just ran fast to the car and locked the doors. After that we went to eat at Applebee's and there was a karaoke night there! So the guys sang and pretty much made the whole restaurant happy.

And then Sunday went past and then Monday morning came and school started and I fell into my coma. Math, history, biology, English - I have no idea what happened. I finally finished my mosaic in art! It turned out better than I hoped. Now I'm going to start a painting and I'm really pumped about it. It's going to be my first official painting I ever do. The song The Battle of Jericho is driving me absolutely insane. "Joshua commanded the children to shout". I cannot make myself pronounce those words fast no matter how hard I try. I'm so mad at myself. It doesn't help that I say them over and over and over again and practice.

Okay so Laura asked me a good question the other day. "How are you Finns so skinny even though you always cook with butter and cheese and cream?" All my friends and family in Finland please answer to this. Do we always cook with those? Or is it just me. I just like putting cheese in everything. Cheese makes everybody's life so much better. And it also makes the boys like my food better. I guess we eat healthy in one way: we use a lot of vegetables. Or at least my family always did. What do you guys think? And also, if you have any suggestions what I could maybe cook the next time please tell me because I'm running out of ideas. Colton just doesn't like anything I make. I made lasagna and he didn't like it. I guess Finnish lasagna is different than American...

I noticed that I always end my texts talking about food.

Anniina kiittää.
